Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): B&S flywheel removal, air hammer chisel, briggs stratton


Question
I need to remove the flywheel from my Briggs & Stratton 14.5 hp o/h valve mower engine. Model # 287707, type 0225 01. Please help me figure out how. Thank you!! (The Riding Mower is a '95 Murray)

Answer
Hi David,

You can remove the flywheel by:  Using a flywheel puller.  Using a small pneumatic air hammer/chisel or brass hammer to tap on the crankshaft end with the flywheel nut loosened and light upward pressure applied to the flywheel.

Let me know how you make out or if you need more detail.
